Bill > SB2929

This bill establishes an "Electronic Posting Pilot Project" for counties in Hawaii with a population between 100,000 and 175,000, to be managed by the county clerk's office. Under this project, county agencies can fulfill their requirement to provide public notice, which traditionally involved publishing in newspapers, by instead posting these notices on official county websites or electronic calendars, though newspaper publication remains an option. This change aims to modernize how government information is shared and make it more accessible. The bill also requires that these notices be posted at least six days before any related action, meeting, or effective date, and that physical copies of all notices be kept available for public inspection. Furthermore, each participating county clerk's office must submit a report to the Legislature with their findings and recommendations regarding the pilot project within one year of the bill's effective date, which is set for January 1, 2525.
